I am experiencing strange buggy behaviour after some upgrading. I'll use points
for the sake of brevity.
- upgraded Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty
o Dapper -> Edgy via network
o Edgy -> Feisty reinstall with desktop CD
o in Edgy -> Feisty reinstall, I preserved my home partition and data
- most everything is fine, *except*
- I found when I ssh from work to home, most commands return complaints re
missing libraries
- Examples:
$ ls
ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
$ locate librt.so.1
locate: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
$ strace ls
strace: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
$ cat .bashrc
cat: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
- not *all* commands
$ echo This is weird.
This is weird.
- this problem also occurs in virtual terminals, Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.
- those files *do* exist, as can be discovered from a local GUI terminal, e.g.
gnome-terminal or xterm, in which everything runs sans problem
- this occurred after both Dapper -> Edgy via the network,
and after Edgy -> Feisty reinstall
- have manually run ldconfig, but it does not clear up the problem
- have also rebooted a couple times since reinstall. no help.
I will appreciate any advice or insight you might have.
Cheers,
Dave.
